Harry might be better off walking Rosie

|

harry-redknapp_1799507cHarry Redknapp is slowly becoming the master of  the self b….y evident as Basil Fawlty once said of Sybil!

The former Hammers chief seems to have far too much time on his hands since marching out of Loftus Road and is regularly trying to make himself heard on any topic which comes through the old car window.

Be it Kicca, Twitter, The Sun, Telegraph, Mirror or, as is the case on this occasion, the London Evening Standard, Harry has an opinion however bland.

In the space of seven short paragraphs he makes two points which were they to have been uttered by anyone else would have been kicked straight in the dustbin.

He said:

1/ Dimitri Payet’s a snip at £10,5 million and looks the real deal – and

2/ Slav would have been under pressure had we lost to Newcastle! Surely not!

In fairness to the bloke he’s always been pretty good with the media during his managerial career but it’s coming to the point where some believe his name alone can carry a “story.”

I’m sure that if he really tried he could give us some big insights into Slav’s modus operandi given that he brought him here or how the new manager is  going to develop West Ham over two or three years.

But if the best he can  do is tell us Payet looks tasty and that Slav couldn’ afford to get beat against the Geordies he might just be better off taking Rosie for a walk!

    As and oldy I know it’s hard to move on but to many older ex managers and players can’t
    Change IE our Hippo,
    Harry had his day and now has lost respect of his players and U.S. Common folk
    Lawrenson ,Merson,Savage,Collymore,Taylor,Hoddle all the same,
    Some have always talked mush and no one listens
    Harry takes your hoard of money and take Rosie off to retirement get the eyes sorted and enjoy Life we ain’t listening ant more we loved you but now it’s getting thin

    While I don’t have a lot of time for him these days and what he stated was fairly obvious, I don’t really feel he’s done a lot wrong. He’s nowhere near the same/bad as those other poor pundits that seem incapable of moving on from the previous incumbent.

  • Boys of 66 says:

    Onky probkem with H is the fact that he says so much he forgets what he has said,lol.In the space of a few weeks he told people we would be in the bottom half of the table,would be absolutely fine & in the top ten,that replacing Sammy was a risk & could cost us dearly & that Slaven was a great decision & will have us cruising in the league,lol.He has so many media commitments these days he gets himself in a tangle about what he has said from one day to the next 😉

    Surprised to see you on here 7580.Thought you only read this site to laugh at the paupers comments as a way or relieving stress before you go back to the ‘Thinking Mans’ site of Wetpants,lol.Mind you it is pretty lame on there now they scored a massive own goal ridding themselves of the banter boys.Only the serious heads & the We Know Eachother In The Real World mob.Exactly what Dale & his groovy gang wanted i guess 😀

    • Billy Hammer says:

      That Dale muppet screwed right up banning Bellend.It might have been to the liking of a few but it is a lot less fun on there now.Barely been there this week to be honest.The fun has gone big time.Bellend might have had his faults but him & a few others certainly kept the convos going when there wasnt much to talk about with an article.Still,the few that didnt like him are happy now 😉

      • TysonM says:

        Haha, Bellend got sh*t on big time.Still its ok,the queen got what she wanted.F*cking joke that place 😉

      • WHU647580 says:

        Didn’t think he did too much wrong tbh and you’re right he did keep it moving along in slow days…..hopefully he’ll be back.

    • WHU647580 says:

      Baz….I barely post on here and yes I do chuckle at some of the comments in here, because there are a couple of posters who can be funny. I post when I feel like it, that simple really

      • Baz Brushe says:

        I wasnt looking for an arguement,however i use both sites & saw you say that you only come here to laugh at the comments as a form of strress relief.Lets not bs eachother here,you ment it as in the comments being stupidly funny,not humerous.Atleast have the balls to admit it.I have no issue with you posting here.Its cool,anyone can but no point in bullsh*tting about the context you were using on wetpants,lol

  • whambam says:

    I loved TC as a player and I know he is one of us but he does boil my p*ss sometimes with his negativity when everything is going well, it’s Moses turn this week, TC is worried about him staying fit and losing confidence, why say it?

  • bubs says:

    He is more of an agony aunt then a pundit,very similar to Harry just to scared to make a prediction and stick to it,
    If you believe in it say it and stick to it,

  • Nolegs No more says:

    TC is a splinter arse.He was always sitting on the fence & was one of the main ‘Becareful what you wish for’ preachers while Hippohead was manager,now he has changed his tune & is saying what a wonderful appointment Bilic is.He has writen countless articles over the last year that have been contradictory.He just plays the game.Dont forget he also works for the club sometimes.I believe he was at the reservation centre on occasion & the OS,he does other club stuff.He only ever offers diluted p*ss poor opinions anyway.

  • WestGoaHam says:

    ‘Arry’s alright. He’s just getting on a bit like the rest of us.

  • Tony gore says:

    Getting on?? He’s well past it!! But still talks like a PRATT? And acts like one,maybe that’s why some people””( not many)””still like him,but he was a good player in his time and really should keep his silly gob shut now,as his comments are subcepticaly idiotic guesswork, sorry harry, just FADE AWAY..

  • mountdouchemore says:

    Anyone would think Hugh is jealous of Harry but I guess you can see why – Harry gets paid more and appears in more places.
